Those celebrating Hari Raya might not be too crazy about tucking into festive dishes like ayam masak merah, rendang and sayur lodeh this early in the season, but Crowne Plaza's first-ever Ramadan menu could be a hit at mixed-culture events. The real draw here, though, is the capacity. Work in a department of more than 100 people? It can be done.

How much: From $48++ per person

How to book: Call at 6823-5339 or email adrian.wong@ihg.com at least three days in advance to book a small dome set for up to six people or a large group of up to 300.
